I have a 2.2.12 kernel with IP Chains, IP Masq, diald, etc.  I have determined 
that the server never dials out, when one of the workstations tries to access 
the internet, unless I type in the command "ipmasq" at the server prompt. 

I do have the file ipmasq in /etc/init.d (and in rcS.d, etc. as S41ipmasq), I 
have included the first portion of the file below.  I tried adding the line 
"/sbin/ipmasq" to this file, right below the line that starts out "test", but 
this had no effect.  

What do I need to do to make the dialout process automatic?

------------IPMASQ-------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# ipmasq.init   Set up IP Masquerading for Debian systems
#
#               v3.0 19 July 1998

test -x /sbin/ipmasq || exit 1

case $1 in
start|restart|force-reload)
...
------------- END -----------

Thanks,

Steve Martin
